First off you need to more generically define identity. You have an issue in that you are defining them by sites, when the sites them selves are nothing but content aggregators. In reality you want a level of abstraction even beyond that. In arch terms you want the internet as a whole to be your db. Maybe you use Flickr for photos maybe you blog on Myspace. Nifty, don't fuckin care. We slap an abstraction layer on top of that , I don't care where the blog post came from. I want the title, test, and date. Now here is where the non-for-profit site comes in. You sign up for something new. Maybe Facebook. Facebook can look at your service which will provide all pics, blogs, all that crap. It can install aps to link to them or upload them. We don't give a rats ass. Now that Facebook came looking we add it to the list of sources. It becomes part of the DB and gets abstracted away. Anyway, thats what i would do Alright, time for the engineer to some in and rain shit on your parade. First off you need to more generically define identity.
